Fable story (the fire at the city gate hurt the fish in the pond) Once upon a time, there was a place where there was a pond under the city gate, and the fish lived freely in it. One day, suddenly the city gate caught fire. A fish saw it and shouted, "no, the gate is on fire." Let's run away quickly! " "However, other fish don't think so.

People took water to put out the fire, so that the fish established contact with the city gate. The escaped fish understood this truth and saved his life. The fish that didn't escape didn't understand this truth, so he was hurt.

These are all things that we should distinguish when observing and dealing with the relationship between objective things. These connections are objective existence independent of our will. Our team has a correct understanding of it, thus creating certain conditions to make it beneficial to human beings, and strangers can deny it subjectively and arbitrarily. Otherwise, you will suffer.

Idiom story (carving a boat for a sword)

During the Warring States Period, a Chu man crossed the river by boat. When the boat reached the middle of the river, he accidentally dropped a sword he was carrying into the river. He hurried to catch it, it was too late.

The people on board felt very sorry for this, but the Chu people seemed to have planned it long ago. He immediately took out a knife, carved a mark on the ship's side, and said to everyone, "This is where my sword fell into the water, so I want to carve a mark."

Although everyone didn't understand why he did it, they stopped asking him.

After the ship landed, the Chu people immediately launched in the marked place on the ship to catch the fallen sword. After fishing for a long time, there was no sign of the sword. He felt very strange and said to himself, "Isn't this where my sword fell?" I carved a mark here. How can you not find it? "

At this time, the people on the boat smiled and said, "The boat has been moving, but your sword has sunk to the bottom of the water. How can you find your sword? "
